Lovely thing, if my eyes are to be believed.

They are indeed a lovely looking car. But a manual? That's just not cricket in a seven dear boy.

Having said that, Barry had a photo of one with keep fit windows. I think that was a 32 IIRC

I've had my eye on this since it was listed. The right wheels and the right colour and trim even if it's the 3.0. I could live happily with the manual box.

I can see me owning one of these alongside my e30 at some point. much as I love my e30 these are far better value and are better built into the bargain.

There's another one on ebay in blue with the spazbox for £2k with sensible miles which I also have on my wishlist

A manual E32 M30B30 is the best option for the B30......... but it is dead easy to fit in B35,, have 25 more ponies ..a lot more grunt... etc etc

this car looks really great

Sorry Rob! I'm sure you don't want more people aware of this and pushing bids up! :snigger:






I did throw a cheeky bid in last night tho...

My 1989 730i is a 5 speed manual, thankfully - the 730i autos are roadblocks. They're just like a slightly bigger E34 really. I bought a Lachs silver D reg 735i Manual from Jon B a few years ago, an ex press car with LSD, Bilsteins, Buffalo leatherz and so on.

That one looks a nice thing - got to be worth 1500 quid or even 2 grand. Nice simple knife and fork engineering.

This is the other one was on initially at £2500 but it's been on for a while.

Lovely old thing

I've seen many many E30's with keep fits and even an E34 with rear keep fits but NEVER until now an E34 with front keep fits.

Odd.

Lovely bus to cruise around in, but headlights are rubbish and narrow country lanes create challenges when you encounter other vehicles. Manual is all wrong though.

Looks like the driver's side doors have been resprayed - they appear to be a darker shade than the rest of it.
